My Safety Hand (Quiet Reflection)

There are people in this world who love you and who really care
Who show up when you need them and are always always there
If ever something happens that feels scary or feels wrong
You know just who to run to, remembering this song

Five fingers
Five protectors
Five people who can lead
They are the ones that you should go to
Anytime that you're in need

Now let's hold up our hand and look at fingers that we see
Five fingers for five people - who might these people be?
Your thumb is for your mom and dad who love you every day
Your pointer for a grandparent who helps you on your way
The next is for a teacher or a family friend
The next is for a counselor ready to understand
The last might be your doctor who makes sure you're okay
When needed these protectors are never far away

Five fingers
Five protectors
Five people who can lead
They are the ones that you should go to
Anytime that you're in need

Sometimes the ones you love the most are busy or away
But there is still someone to turn to at the end of a hard day
Remember four more fingers are always there for you
A teacher or a counselor will know just what to do
So look down at your hand and find a finger you can trust
Being brave and speaking up is always a must
You will never be in trouble for telling what you know
Your safety hand will always show you somewhere safe to go

Five fingers
Five protectors
Five people who can lead
They are the ones that you should go to
Anytime that you're in need

When you find your safety person but the words are hard to find
Just say "I need to tell you something" or "something is on my mind"
You don't need perfect words and you just need to begin
Your safety person's waiting for you to let them in
